no windows 8 does not provide that function.free programs are available online that can be downloaded to perform those tasks.I use VLC to play DVDs.(windows 8 does not include the codex to do this VLC does) and I use CDBurnerxp to record CDs both are free programs available online.I do not record DVDS but there is probably a free program that you can find online for that as well this is a great computer but windows 8 is a very limited operating system and you will have this same problem on any laptop that uses windows 8.you can rip CDs but not DVDs with windows 8
